Please join a group of dedicated individuals and organizations in the
build-up and planning of this year Earth Summit, happening on October 11th
at New College. The Earth Charter Monthly Discussions are a build-up to the
Earth Summit as well as a place to explore topics through dialogue and
community building. This month's theme is "Globalization and the Power of an
Individual." In addition to the discussion portion of the monthly meetings,
the rest of the time will be spent on planning for the Earth Summit on Oct.
11th. The Summit is a day where cities from around the world participate in
Earth Charter events, linking via the internet many of the different
participating groups. In addition to the components San Francisco's Earth
Summit shares with cities around the world, each city is also encouraged to
make the event its own. Examples of what the Summit could include are
keynote speakers, roundtable discussion, networking and team-building and
large-scale planning for upcoming actions. Please get involved in this very
important organizing meeting as well as the monthly discussions that follow
on August 23rd and September 20th and the Earth Summit on October 11th!
